Gotta Catch 'Em AAR: Rise of the Lowbies

Post Reply New Topic

Well, I'll be on my way to Viridian Gym, and... hey look, it's that mutant again!'



'Spending time' means you raving on about some rare Pokémon you found, or that cool PC system you made that everyone seems so fond of? I've got a f*ckin' Flareon, Bill, a FLAREON!



Wait, a cruise you say? Hmm, it almost seems like turning you into a human again was a good idea. Almost. All right, I'll come with you. I might actually enjoy it.



Dramatization of the boat journey - is not necessarily an accurate description of real events:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iUjx4_X1qA[/youtube]



I had imagined a more exotic destination, but OK.



Bill introduces to his friend Celio, who explains we can't access our PC on this wretched island. And there's not even a Poké Mart! I know we couldn't trust that mutie.



Do I look like a Delibird to you?



That's right, everything comes at a price.



So true, old man.



You're crazy, woman.



Well, isn't this a depressing little island chain. Let's go to Two Island.



There's some sort of Game Corner on this island. I of course investigate what it is, but it turns out to be void of one-armed bandits and TMs. Such blasphemy. The only thing we find is a grown man crying. At first I thought it was because noone would visit his lousy Game Corner, but it turns out to be about a missing daughter.



Suddenly, an intelligent young man comes in and gives sophisticated criticism to this Game Corner.



OK, not that intelligent.



What a great selection of merchandise.



I hope there's something more interesting on Three Island.



Looks like fun! Can I join?



Oh right, I'm supposed to be all good and valiant and all that jazz.



I wanna make you bleed.



Type disadvantages, Bug being weak to Poison, you say? NIEMALS!

Ashamed of being beaten by a damn butterfly, the Kanto Biker Federation leaves.



You mean that lunatic? What about her?




*slowly backs towards the exit*



She's crazy, I tell you!



Be sure to bring a Pokémon with Cut with you, and be as obnoxiously loud as possible.



This bugger poisoned my Primeape, which became so enraged that it wanted to smash it to pulp in the most excruciating way possible. I decided to have mercy upon it, and enslave it instead.



A Hypno makes some pretty inappropriate gestures towards this girl, so I'd better help the girl out.



This Pokémon has tough qualities. I'll take it.



Thank you, Captain Obvious.



He thanks you for helping him and so on. He would have done better as a geologist than owner of a Game Corner.



We're back on Kanto soil again! *kisses ground*

Er, yeah. That should be all for today.

Suddenly, I am assaulted by a Missingno.



Wait, that's in the original Red and Blue versions. Never mind.



Since we're such an awesome team we're gonna take some photos.



Raichu thinks she looks fat, though.



Anyways, onto more serious business. The mysterious leader of Viridian Gym has returned, and we'll have to defeat him as well. Apparently they use Ground Pokémon here.



Should be a piece of cake if you are any indication.



Gasp, I can't believe it's him!



Woohoo, ten Grand!



This thingy gives you more Effort Points, but makes your Pokémon slower.



Unbelieveable, ain't it?



Finally, we can go to Indigo Platue. Wait, I'm starting to feel nauseous again. It's that rival of ours again!



This time around, he's very strong, but not as strong as us.



Er, I just owned you.



When the going gets tough, pick some berries.



Hold on, Victory Road is actually cave? It sounds so un-cavish! Fiendish Elite Four, building their tower at the end of of a f*ckin' cave!



To progress in the cave, push the boulders onto these buttons.



You can only take one for now. Choose wisely. I took Dragon Claw myself.



Deep in the cave, I was running low on PP's for my powerful moves. Primeape had fainted!



Kinda useless without the Rockhead ability.



Oh noes. I can't get past this maze. I give up.



It's time for a motivational speech.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv2ONRJ9tMQ[/youtube]

Welcome to Indigo Platue. You're about to begin the greatest moment of your life. The rival has lost hundreds of Pokémon. Gunnar's brutalized hordes are advanding towards Pokémon League over mountains of their own dead bodies. Our Pokémon Party, our nation, our great country, have task not to let the enemy reach Championship status, and to assault Indigo Platue! Forward against the enemy! Up into the unremitting battle comrades, for Pallet Town, for our great country! Not one step back! Cowards and traitors will be shot! Do not count days, do count miles, count only the number of Pokémon you have killed. Kill the rival - this is your mother's prayer. Kill the rival - this is the cry of your Kanto earth. Do not waver! Do not let up! Kill! Death to the Rival invader!
Primeape: PRIMEAPE!

Bad memories from the victory road

But im SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited too see whats going to happen to you in the ELITE four.

Wait is it realy 10 grand, I wonder if it is meant to be closer to the Japanese yen, which would place it more around the amount of $100. I dont think a single pokeball would be $500. Hey a little bit of information, did you know according to the manga the character Silver, who is the rival in Gold/Gold/Crystal is the son of Giovani. Missingno was built for the purpose for the developers with if I remember properly part of Articuno's datta, for the purpose so they could mass produce items, and also if you give enough rare candy to certain Missingno it can turn into a Kangeskahn, which can still know Missingno's moves like water gun and Sky Attack.

Orwell, you think silver/ gold is easy? I soloed all the battles with only ONE Pokémon... My Typhlosion, gave him all the power boosters and the best move, she could kill ALL the types <.< I only had the backup Pokémons for the Hms and the eventual revive bot.

This feels highly unfair...





Well, they ain't gonna play fair, and neither will I.





Let's use PP Ups on some great moves, too...



Earthquake, the most powerful Ground move in the game, goes to our Attack monster of course.



With this move, if Pokémon love you, they will work so hard in battle that they will blindly charge any foe with all it's powers. With this, Raticate shall become a flurry of bites... and they call this a child game?

I also used three Calcium on Blastoise, three Iron on Raticate, three Zinc on Raichu, Raticate and Blastoise, and one HP Up on Primeape.




Take a good look at my berry collection. Jealous, eh?



Grinding is fun, and essential. Here, a wild Geodude used Selfdestruct, and I was left with one HP left.



A very useful move that cuts the opponent's HP in half...

Here goes nothing...



Blastoise, our very first Pokémon. Despite having so relatively low Special Attack, he is dependable and robust. Has Surf and Ice Beam as it's main weapons.



Butterfree has a strong Special Attack, and his Psychic and Silver Wind can make up for his shortcomings.



Raichu is perhaps not the best in my team, but a valuable component nonetheless. Thunderbolt is her only strong move.



A completely berserk Pokémon, he scares the sh*t out of me. Can cause mayhem with Cross Chop, Rock Slide and Earthquake.



Not the Pokémon of choice in any given battle, but can still be potent with her Return, Shadow Ball and Super Fang.



What the Balkans is to Europe, Pidgeotto is to our team. She's in so she can provide moral support.

All right, let's go.



She's not cold, she's just a b***h.

At this point Erik defeats Lorelei, but apparently he's ret*d, so he accidently reset button, so he'll have to do it again. :/

She has three ghosts, a giant cobra and a giant bat. There something creepy about that sentence, no doubt. She's also had a flirtation with Dr. Oak. Bulbapedia says: "Agatha and Professor Oak were once friendly rivals in their youth, and it appears that Agatha may have once had a crush on Oak. However, their relationship has grown bitter and strained over the years because Agatha believes he was too weak to continue competing. She has a very short temper." Those three sentences are not very reassuring, either.

The old duff couldn’t even tell my gender.

All right, I'll take a little break here now. I'll hopefully finish the rest of Pokémon League tonight!

Now i feel i must play pokemon yellow,red,silve,gold,crystal and fire red all over again, it's SO DAMN TEMPTING!! ! The memories FLOW back to me, i remember the wonder that is pokemon, the game i waited to play while i was in school, rushing home and playing crystal on my game boy color in '01 and red in '98<3. The shows, dolls, trading pokemon, playing red on pokemon stadium was so f****** genius, i could play about 5 times faster. I really wish i lived in a pokemon world, this series makes others look like hell, except super mario, zelda.....

I want to travel back, those were the best times of my life, diving inside the gameboy, don't caring about catching all of them but the legendary and special was something i should care about, but i didn't get the point when i was so young. When i was 11-12 when ruby n sapphire came out, i understood the point, too bad i sold them . Now i'm gonna catchem all, get my friends to trade pokemon with me, i will play fire red more than red because red is slow as hell, i wish i could lock myself away from civilisation and play pokemon for all time.

I wish henriksson good luck

Things are about to turn really ugly…

We find that our rival is about to be declared Führer of all Kanto! He is holding a speech right now!

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9TZoWjmX_Q[/youtube]

We have to stop him, and save Kanto!



Hey. I brought you a deodorant. *pinches nose*

Führers usually don't last long.



It's Oak. I wonder what he wants.



He wants to talk retirement options with me? I admit he must know all about it.







Despite all your love and trust, Oak, you couldn't beat Agatha in a fair fight.



This better be good...



This room is probably the coolest in the game.







This reminds me of Pokémon the Movie for some reason.



Hey, Pidgeotto didn't do sh*t except faint. (Blastoise just ate some ice cream in a clumsy manner)



Oak: Now that you have become the League Champion, I suppose there is something important I need to tell you... I am your father.
Erik:



Noooooo!



Fire!



Grass! (And Poison!)



Awesomeness!



Braille Code in a video game, you ask? I'll show you.



Electric mice!



Jesus! And more Braille!



Or is it?



Considering that there are 497 Pokémon, that's less than 10%.

That's that, i congratulate you for being that good

This walkthrough was entertaining from beginning to end, i give it 5/5
